EXPLORES THE WORLD THROUGH MUSIC

The goal of Boombox Classroom is to get a lot of music to a lot of kids.

The shows extend the music teachers’ reach. They provide a professional music lesson every week, which is a real boon to the classroom teachers. They also expand our world. Who wouldn’t want to hear a Mongolian throat singer, African drumming, tap-dancing in Chicago and clogging in the Appalachians, a backstage visit to the Santa Fe Opera, cutting up with fiddler Mark O’Connor, the matachines of the Tarahumara in Mexico’s Copper Canyon, or a Mozart piano concerto inspired by a starling?

We can do that with your help!

Boombox Classroom is supported by listeners like you. To join the Friends of Boombox, contact Marty Ronish at mronish@flash.net. The Friends of Boombox receive regular email updates and have the satisfaction of knowing their support provides music to kids all over the country. If you live in Albuquerque, there are also Friends events.
